How Many Calories Should a Low Calorie Meal Have?

There's no one right number. It depends on your body, how active you are and what else you eat in a day. We use one rule for this range: every meal is under 400 calories per serve. Each tray is a single serve of roughly 400 to 450g, and the nutrition panel is on every product page.

If you're managing your diet for a health reason, talk to a health professional about the calorie target that's right for you.
